Purpose: Cadaveric dissection is an important component
of medical education, providing students with unique learning experiences about human anatomy and gaining important
knowledge and skills for their future careers. Various studies
have found that students prefer cadaver dissection to learn human anatomy and think that it is more effective and valuable.
Since the use of cadavers for educational purposes is prohibited by law in medical schools in Italy, medical students graduate without training on cadavers. In fact, some of the faculty
members in the anatomy departments of medical schools have
not received cadaver training and have never performed a dissection.
Methods: In July 2023, the anatomy departments of the
School of Medicine of Acibadem University, Turkey and
University of Turin, Italy, organized a faculty development
program on cadaver dissection methods and its use in medical education. In this training program, in which the faculty
members of anatomy departments and medical students participated together, it was planned to experience the training
processes carried out with cadavers, and based on this experience, it was aimed to provide short-term development in the
training program and practices. Results: In this study, it was aimed to ensure that faculty
members obtain gains that they can transfer to their own
educational programs and to evaluate the effectiveness of
the developmental program and its results with the RE-AIM
methodology. The RE-AIM framework (reach, effectiveness,
adoption, implementation, and maintenance) has been widely
used for evaluating the effectiveness of developmental education programs.
Conclusion: This collaborative study had a positive impact
on the faculty members of both medical schools in terms of the
departments' development of their own programs and teaching methods. Participating in the program with their students
also ensured a high level of effectiveness.
